so what you see here from the obama administration, is that good news. does that change anything, in your view? >> there's a couple things that came out of this. when you respond to this many intrusions, see all the theft of intellectual property that we've witnessed, you recognize there's technical solutions that we've got to pursue, but there's never going to be the holy grail, where we've got the whole field covered. so you need diplomatic things done as well. and that's one of the reasons why mandiant released its port, we felt the tolerance in the private sector, that it's just shrinking. people are sick and frustrated with how much ip we've lost to chinese hackers. so we felt it was just a natural timing. let's get this report out, let's up the ante, and i think there's a real challenge on the diplomacy side of things, but one thing that struck me is that they said they would increase our diplomatic engagement. i think that's automatically good. without diplomacy, technology alone is not going to solve this problem. >> so good news, in your view, w
